Spreeconf NYC 2014 Notes

tl;dr:My notes taken from Spreeconf two-day conference in New York City 2014. Spree is an open source ecommerce platform.

ROUGH DRAFT

My company is currently looking at alternative solutions for an ecommerce platform. Currently we are using a custom solution that is brittle from which we incur a lot of maintenance cost. Some of our shopping requisites for a potential new platform include the avoidance of: hefty monthly license fees, pay-per-order models, dependence on third-party developers for feature development. Yet maintain our current feature set and ideally stay within the rails environment. We're not picky at all...

@Mingusredd and I attended the latest Spree conference in NYC to meet the Spree community and talk with the developers and companies that were using it. After all we want to ensure that this platform has a bright future and an invested developer community so we don't have to revisit this costly exercise in the near future.
